Wei Wuhou

Chapter 611 The Conversation of the Xu Mansion

(Just finished writing, please subscribe!! Well, broken sleep!!!)
Although he has already descended to the court, Wei Wuji still has a feeling that the matter of peace talks with Qi mentioned in the court meeting just now may fall on his own head.

Therefore, after going to court, Wei Wuji did not go back to the mansion directly, but went to Xu Anhong's mansion.

Xu Anhong did not participate in today's Great Court Meeting. The reason he gave was that he was sick. Although Wei Wuji thought that the old man was indeed old, whether he was really sick was open to question.

After all, it can be said that today is a carnival day in the court, so if Xu Anhong doesn't go, his ears will be clearer.

In fact, this is not the first time Wei Wuji has visited Xu Anhong's house, but in general he has not been there a few times, so he still feels strange to Xu's residence.

But it was just that he felt strange, in the eyes of servants and maidservants, the arrival of Lord Wu Yang was a great event.

So when Wei Wuji first arrived at the gate of Xu Anhong's mansion, Wei Wuji got out of the car and found that the servants of Xu's mansion were already waiting respectfully outside.

At the same time, there were Xu Anhong's two sons waiting outside the gate of Xu's mansion.Seeing that Xu Anhong didn't come out in person, Wei Wuji knew that the old man might be really sick.

"My lord..." Xu Anhong's eldest son paid respects with his younger brother and the servants behind him.

Wei Wuji asked them to stand up, and said: "I heard that General Zhu Guo is ill, so I came here to see you!"

Xu's eldest son is named Xu Xun. After hearing Wei Wuji's words, he bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. My father is sick and cannot come out to meet you. Please forgive me, sir!"

Wei Wuji waved his hand, and then said: "Lead the way ahead, my son will go in and have a look first!"

Brother Xu Xun leaned forward to lead the way, and a group of people walked into the mansion, while Zheng Dali was the only one who followed Wei Wuji into the house.

Originally, according to the rules, Wei Wuji was invited to drink tea first, but he was not in the mood to drink tea at this time, so Xu Xun took Wei Wuji directly to the inner mansion.

When he came to Xu Anhong's room, Wei Wuji smelled a strong smell of herbs. At this time, Xu Anhong was supported by his maid and wanted to sit up.

Wei Wuji didn't know that this person wanted to salute him, so he rushed over and said: "Don't get up, old general, it's cold outside!"

Seeing that Wei Wuji had arrived, Xu Anhong said in a hoarse voice, "My lord, don't mess with etiquette!"

Seeing Xu Anhong like this, Wei Wuji couldn't bear it, and said: "The old general is sick, just lie down well. If my illness worsens because of my coming here, then Wuji will be guilty of the worst!"

After Wei Wuji's words, Xu Anhong lay down obediently.

At this time, under Xu Xun's call, a maid brought a chair and placed it behind Wei Wuji.

He heard Xu Anhong on the bed say: "My lord... please sit down!"

Wei Wuji nodded, and sat down on the chair, but seeing Xu Anhong like this, he felt uncomfortable.

It was Xu Anhong who asked first: "My lord, there must be a lot of excitement in the hall today!"

Wei Wuji nodded, and then said: "The old general is right, today is indeed very lively, and several people in your Changping Camp have received awards!"

Xu Anhong actually knew these things a long time ago, so he didn't want to ask more about it, so he listened to him: "Then the young master found the old minister today, what is the so-called matter?"

Wei Wuji sighed, and then said: "You know, the old general, there is already an important matter being discussed in the court today!"

Xu Anhong asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei Wuji replied: "The court has already begun to discuss the conditions for peace with Qi!"

Xu Anhong didn't speak, and outsiders couldn't see what he was thinking. It was a long time before he heard him say: "Although Qi and Wu are confronting each other, there is no progress between Qi and Wu at this time. Can this peace be negotiated?" Not necessarily!"

This is of course true. Although the Wu State at this time is Chen Bing Qi Wu border, eyeing the Xu State sandwiched between the two, but at this time the two countries are not fighting after all.

Then after this winter, whether Wu State will send troops to Xu State is also unknown, so it is not certain that Qi State will negotiate peace with Wei State.

Hearing Xu Anhong's analysis, Wei Wuji finally understood why the peace talks had dragged on for so long. It turned out that Qi Guo was not so proactive about it.

It even goes so far as to say that although Wei State won the battle against Qi, Wei State, facing the huge pressure from Qin and Chu, wanted to withdraw from Qi State.

"The old general's insights are brilliant, and Wuji admires them!" At this time, Wei Wuji couldn't help sighing, of course, this also meant flattering.

Immediately, Wei Wuji said again: "But if we really want to negotiate peace with Qi, then the old general thinks... who will they choose?"

Hearing this question, Xu Anhong looked at Wei Wuji blankly, and then he understood what Wei Wuji meant.

He then heard Xu Anhong say: "My lord, they will send you there?"

Since Xu Anhong said it so directly, Wei Wuji nodded in recognition, because this was the purpose of his coming here.

"This matter... I will do my best to stop it!" Xu Anhong had no choice but to say.

In fact, he had expected this before.

In fact, with Wei Wuji's current status as a monarch, it is very appropriate to discuss peace.

What's more, he still has the experience of being a hostage to the Qi State, and it can be said that Wei Wuji understands the Qi State better, which is one of the reasons for him to negotiate peace.

Thinking of this, Wei Wuji said, "Old General, this matter... I'm afraid it cannot be avoided!"

Then Wei Wuji explained: "Even if the old general helps me push this matter away, the family will still have other ways to prevent me from going back to Yanshan!"

Speaking of this, after Wei Wuji looked around, he realized that all the servants in the room had been taken out by Xu Xun.

So Wei Wuji continued: "What's more, I'm afraid it's my father's intention to keep me...I've been too popular recently!"

After being conferred the title of emperor, Wei Wuji will naturally be refrigerated for a period of time to cool him down.

Immediately, Xu Anhong said: "Young master can see through these things, the old minister admires..."

"However, as the young master said, even if I can prevent you from negotiating peace, I'm afraid there will be other difficult things waiting for you... Then you will have no way to shirk!" Xu Anhong said in a deep voice.

It is understandable to evade once, but if you evade a second time, you will be criticized, which will be a huge blow to Wei Wuji's reputation.

Seeing that Wei Wuji was lost in thought, Xu Anhong continued: "Since we can't avoid it in the end, then it's okay for you to go for a walk!"

The meaning of Xu Anhong's words has taken a 180-degree turn, which made Wei Wuji unable to understand for a while.

"Old general... what you said is inconsistent with what you just said!" Wei Wuji said puzzled.

Xu Anhong seldom smiled at this time and said: "Young Master, as you said, this is what the Lord wants after all, and you can't avoid it in the end!"

"If you can escape the negotiation, you can't escape other matters, so why not go for a walk!" Xu Anhong said with a light smile.

In fact, when he said to help mediate earlier, he could only say that he was testing Wei Wuji, just to see if he could see through the matter.To be honest, Xu Anhong was very relieved when Wei Wuji said that this matter could not be stopped.

Seeing that Wei Wuji was still suspicious, Xu Anhong continued: "What's more... You haven't been there, Mr. Xiangping Daying, so it's great to take this opportunity to meet some people!"

These words undoubtedly helped Wei Wuji make up his mind, and made him suddenly feel enlightened. It turns out that the peace negotiation can also be used in this way.

"The old general is wise, thank you, the old general!" This time, Wei Wuji stood up and said.

After being told by Xu Anhong, Wei Wuji immediately found the direction of his struggle.He also has a lot of fans in Xiangping Daying, and this time he just went to harvest it.

And the reason why Xu Anhong used these words to mention Wei Wuji was because he also knew that this young master was quite skillful in buying people's hearts.

Just like Xu Anhong's Changping Daying, Wei Wuji has been away for two years now, and some people are bragging about his deeds every day, admiring him.

At this time, Xu Anhong smiled and said: "Young master, these are actually just our inferences, and the person to go to the Qi State to negotiate a peace...It may not be you!"

Maybe it was because of the thought of Liushen Wuzhu before, Wei Wuji also laughed at this time, and then said: "Yeah, there are still no shadows now, we are wasting our words!"

After saying that, the two burst out laughing.

In this laughter, Wei Wuji's bewildered helplessness just now was swept away, and the sickness on Xu Anhong's face also improved a little.

It can be said that this conversation is a win-win situation for both of them.
